A fight that started inside the San Jose Cultural Center and spilled into the parking lot and nearby neighborhoods resulting in multiple exchanges of gunfire, car crashes and two deaths in the early morning hours of Nov. 4 has cost the nightclub its liquor license and up to $630.

A hearing was supposed to take place Wednesday on the matter, but the city announced Tuesday evening that an agreement had been reached and cancelled the hearing.

The city was in the process of revoking the San Jose Cultural Center liquor license or at least limiting the hours that it could use that license. The owners of the business, the Macias family, which also run a handful of successful Mexican restaurants in the Rockford area, announced last week that they would voluntarily give up the club's license and work with the city on an agreed settlement.

Terms of the settlement include:

San Jose will pay for the court reporter that attended last week's hearing, a cost of up to $130.

San Jose will pay the city another $500, too, in fines.

No action will be taken against San Jose restaurant liquor licenses at 3035 N. Rockton Ave. or 3725 E. State St.

According to a statement released by the city, an investigation by the city's Liquor Control Commission determined the terms and conditions of approval of the liquor license issued to the San Jose Cultural Center were violated, and "the significant level of violence which subsequently erupted on and about the licensed premises was a direct result of the violation."
